KOI have parted ways with William "Spoit" Löfstedt. The decision comes just three weeks after the team finished in the Six Invitational 2023 top six, where they lost to Astralis in the lower bracket quarter-finals.
While still playing under Rogue, the roster won the Six Berlin Major in Spoit's debut stage. The Swed finished the European League Stage 2 with a SiegeGG rating of 1.30. Later on, in Germany, the 18-year-old would be crowned international champion as he was chosen as the tournament's MVP.
At the Six Invitational 2023, Spoit was one of the tournament's EVPs following his performances with KOI. His rating in the competition was 1.17.
Six days before Spoit's announcement, Juhani "Kantoraketti" Toivonen had already announced his departure from the team. With Rogue, the Finn was chosen as one of the EVPs at the Six Berlin Major. It was the Finish's fourth piece of international silverware as he had previously won the PL Season 8 Finals, the Six Paris Major, and the Six Invitational 2019 with G2 Esports.
Matthew "meepeY" Sharples, the team's coach since March. 2021, was also released last week. According to his Twitter, he won't be working with any team during the first stage of the season as "being released so late into the transfer window made finding a new home near impossible"
